1 The Suffering Servant Who has believed our report?And to whom has the arm of Yahweh been revealed?
2 For He grew up before Him like a tender 53:2Lit suckling shoot,And like a root out of parched ground;He has nostatelyform or majestyThat we should look upon Him,Nor appearance that we should desire Him.
3 He was despised and forsaken of men,A man of 53:3Or pains sorrows and acquainted with 53:3Or sickness grief;And like one from whom men hide their faceHe was despised, and we did not esteem Him.
4 ¶Surely our 53:4Or sickness griefs He Himself 53:4Or carried bore,And our 53:4Or pains sorrows He 53:4Or bore carried;Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, 53:4Or Struck down by Smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But He was 53:5Or wounded pierced through for our transgressions,He was crushed for our iniquities;The chastening for our peacefellupon Him,And by His 53:5Lit wound wounds we are healed.
6 All of us like sheep have gone astray,Each of us has turned to his own way;But Yahweh has caused the iniquity of us allTo 53:6Lit encounter Him fall on Him.
7 ¶He was oppressed and He was afflicted,Yet He did not open His mouth;Like a lamb that is led to slaughter,And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers,So He did not open His mouth.
8 By oppression and judgment He was taken away;And as for His generation, who consideredThat He was cut off out of the land of 53:8Or life the living,Thatfor the transgression of my people, strikingwas dueto Him?
9 So His grave was assigned with wicked men,Yet He was with a rich man in His death,Because He had done no violence,Nor was there any deceit in His mouth.
10 ¶But 53:10Or it was the desire of Yahweh, cf. Ps 40:6 Yahweh was pleasedTo crush Him, 53:10Or He put Him to grief; lit He made Him sick puttingHimto grief;If You would place His soulasa guilt offering,He will seeHisseed,He will prolongHisdays,And the 53:10Or will of, desire of; cf. Ps 40:6 good pleasure of Yahweh will succeed in His hand.
11 As a result of the 53:11Or toilsome labor anguish of His soul,He will see 53:11Or light it andbe satisfied;By His knowledge the Righteous One,My Servant, will 53:11Or declare the many righteous, cf. 53:11a;5:23 justify the many,As He will bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore, I will divide for Him a portion with the many,And He will divide the spoil with the strong;Because He poured out His soul to death,And was numbered with the transgressors;Yet He Himself 53:12Or carried bore the sin of many,And interceded for the transgressors.
